Oliva is a wonderful destination where you can enjoy both the sea and the mountains, as well as the town’s history and culture.

This interesting tourist destination is located in the province of Valencia and is on the border of Alicante. Its perfect location near the Mediterranean Sea means one of the main attractions of this town are its beaches, so book a holiday in Oliva and come enjoy them.

If you’re looking for some relaxation, you’ve come to the right place. Oliva has 5 miles of extraordinarily high-quality beaches. In the northern zone, you’ll find Terranova beach, one of the few unspoilt beaches left on the Mediterranean. On the other hand, in the central area, you can work on your tan on Aigua Blanca beach, surrounded by a natural dune. Finally, in the southern area you’ll find beaches such as Aigua Morta, where you can enjoy a swim in both salt and fresh water, as it receives water from the River Bullent.

Mountain lovers should also reserve one of our cheap trips to Oliva, though, as they’re also sure to have a great time. If you come, make sure you visit the Pego-Oliva Marsh Nature Park, whose landscapes will leave you breathless. Another must-see is the La Font Salada natural spring, where you can swim in both winter and summer, as the temperatures don’t vary.

On the other hand, if you’d rather enjoy the culture and the history of the town, check out our package deals to Oliva and take in all its monuments. One of the routes you can follow is the one that passes through the Moorish Raval where you’ll find the Tosalet del Doix viewpoint. You can also choose to take the Vila Condal route and discover the palaces of the Centelles and Riu Sech nobles. Also, some of the other most important buildings of the town are the church of Santa María, a clear example of Valencian architecture, and the church of San Roque, whose current temple dates back to the 19th century.

It’s not hard to see why Oliva is a perfect destination for all tourists, so once you’ve made up your mind, pick one of our holiday deals to Oliva and explore its nooks and crannies at your own pace.

Don’t overpack!!!! Casual is all you need, there are very few places that require you to dress up. And if you can try to visit during one of their wonderful festas, you won’t regret it.
